Hi,

I have two HDDs: a Seagate 4.3 GB and a Western Digital 4.0 GB (Model WDC AC24300L). The Western Digital had developed bad sectors. So I used Digital Data LifeGuard (which is Western Digital's software) on it. In the write test I got warning that DLGDIAG was attempting to write to the boot sector of the drive. I over rid the warning and continued the writing process. However now my Western Digital HD has vanished in Windows! It is being recognised in BIOS but is no where to be seen in Windows or DOS. I am running Win 98 SE. Please help me.

You need to run fdisk and see if your partition has been "undone".
If so you'll have to create the partition, format it and re-install your stuff.
If you're partition is still there,
verify that the partition is active.
That's all I can think of now.
Best of luck.
